State regulations and taxes are the problem. The people who can afford to build apartments are big money. Reduce zoning regulations, property taxes and get rid of Urban Growth Boundaries to expand land use and create competition. Then rents would go down. Government over reach is the problem period.
We moved to Bend, after our town of Paradise, ca. Burned down to buy a home and got priced out immediately! We are now "Apartment Dwellers", that feel somewhat without a stake in this "Great Community!"
I am an educator at a community college and so I see first had the results of the K-12 system here and is is worse than, not good. Until the Bend-LaPine school district gets back to teaching, failing kids who need to fail in order to succeed, and producing results.
